2017 TRD OR DC 5100/888 pictures

Hey guys. I was originally going to go with the Ready-lift SST kit, but I read that wasn't a good option. Then I did some reading on the 5100's with 888 springs and a 1.5" block in the rear. Has anyone done this successfully WITHOUT replacing the UCA's?

On a second note, I want to keep my stock rims, what's the max tire size I could fit with this setup?

Anyone with this setup, could you PLEASE post pics????

Cheers!

 

Don't do the block unless you want a crappy ride, go with a add a leaf!!!

 

Talk to Marie over at @HeadStrong Off-Road they got great prices and she will take care of you!

 

+1 for this advice

 

That's where I'm shopping for sure, just need to see exactly what I want to do before I throw the money on the table

 

Marie's got the answered. Depends on if you go with the 2nd Gen 5100, or the 3rd gen. I having my 2nd gen 5100 with 887 installed today.

 

Im going with the AAL. I've heard to many negatives with the blocks. Price is almost the same for a block , or the AAL. I figured id just go with the AAL, and do it right the first time.

 

She's aweosme to talk to and will answer any questions you may have!

 

My exact setup! OME 888 coils with Bilstien 5100s set at 0. The ride is great, no regrets! I currently have 275/70 r17 tires, going to 285/70 r17 later this week.

 

Very nice!! Did you go with aftermarket UCA's?

 

Thanks! I didn't have to use new UCAs because the alignment turned out fine.

 

nice KO2's

 

Only tire I run, lol

 

How did the lift and 275's effect overall performance?

 

Sorry forgot to quote you so you would know I was asking about your set up. This is the exact set up I am considering for my log bed

 

I don't think it effected the performance very much. However, I lifted the truck within the first couple hundred miles and I may just be used to the bigger tires? I do think the truck has plenty of punch when you need it. Im going up to 285s on Friday, I'll probably re gear to 488s because of gas mileage and better performance then.

 

Love the setup! You'll be happy with it!

 

Would you have a side shot?

 

Sure do!

 

Great looking truck
